Took my Parasound A21 SS Amp in. My phono amp pretty much blew my whole system so when a chanel was out on my parasound I was thinking $$$ to get it fixed. Bob located the problem, installed the new part and my amp is now back on the floor (too big for my rack) and sounds perfect. The best part is the fact he was very fair and honest. He could have taken me to the cleaners but instead showed me exactly what he had to do and charged me a very very reasonable price. read more

Action Electronics fixed my treasured headphones that were a gift from my dad in less than 20 minutes while I waited, and even added some heat seal so they wouldnt break again. I'd been worried that they were going to charge a crazy amount but the guys were super great and very laid back, and didn't break my wallet. It really was the win of the day for me. Thank you so much! read more

I own a much loved/used Sansui 9090 receiver and Dynaco A50 speakers. They've needed some work for quite a while, but I couldn't find anyone to work on this type of equipment. I expanded my search area a bit and found Bob at Action Electronics. He did a wonderful job! My equipment is in better shape than when I bought it and he fixed some problems I wasn't even aware of. He really knows his stuff and has a genuine love and respect for this type of gear. I'm a very happy customer and would trust Action with any of my vintage equipment. read more

This is the place to go if you want to be treated with outrageous discourtesy. The shop owner, Bob, irrationally lost his temper with me, called me a liar, threatened to call the police on me, and kicked me out of his shop. Why? Read on. Several days before, he had fixed my old receiver, but when I got it home and tried to play it, connecting only the right speaker cabinet at first, it wouldn't work. I called him the next day I told him over the phone what I had done to diagnose the problem. I repeated to him, over the phone, the several steps I'd taken to tentatively diagnose the problem. He mistakenly thought I'd said that at some point, I had connected the left speaker cabinet. He told me to bring the receiver back in. I did so. He opened it up and saw I'd blown a fuse. Then, in trying to explain what I might have done to blow the fuse, he mentioned that I had connected the left speaker. I told him he got it wrong, that hadn't said that. He called me a liar and angrily finished reassembling my receiver, saying he didn't work for customers who lie to him. I told him again he was being extremely offensive, but he insisted I had lied to him. When I again protested, he said, "That's it, now you owe me 50 dollars!" Until then, it was understood there'd be no charge for the new work. When I refused to pay -- he was now charging me simply because I had denied his accusation and argued with him over it---- he told me to get out or he'd call the police. As I was leaving, he told his son in a loud, angry voice -- obviously intended for me to hear -- "You can't fix stupid! read more
